iLogic help

[esmall1894]

Ok i give!

I know this really simple but i cant seem to get it to work.

I have a simple plate with four or eight holes.  Two different hole patterns one of which is named "eight bolt"

I have User Parameter "eight_hole" as a True/False.

All i want to do is suppress the "eight bolt" feature when the user parameter "eight_hole" goes to false.  Simple right?

I have set all trigger conditions to this iLogic code but still doesn't work.  What is up with this?

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If Parameter("eight_hole") = True Then 
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = True  
Else  
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = False
End If

Hi esmall1894,

Change the way you call the parameter from Parameter("eight_hole") to eight_hole and then it will automatically update.

Or you can edit the Form and add an Apply button (rather than just the Done button).

I hope this helps.

If eight_hole = True Then 
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = True  
Else
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = False
End If

I changed the parameter as suggested to eight_hole. insted of "eight_hole"  and I get the erro message below.  Any thoughts?

Error in rule: Suppress 8 Hole, in document: Beam Bolt Plate.ipt

Parameter: Could not find a parameter named: "True"

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If Parameter(eight_hole) = True Then 
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = True  
Else  
Feature.IsActive("eight bolt") = False
End If

Hi esmall1894,

Have a look at my post again. You need to remove the word Parameter as well as the parenthesis, so it just says eight_hole in blue.

I hope this helps.

@Curtis_Waguespack 

I've got an issue where the multi-value drop downs are one of the things that are being generated by the ilogic codes, so I won't have the specific parameter to put in the code (eg. eight_hole), until after the code has run the first time.

Long story short, is there any other way to force iLogic to trigger on a change of multi-value drop down?
